Fairview and Cass County
Fairview is associated with Cass County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Fairview by land and water
The Census records 11.4 square miles of water within Fairview, or 24.2% of its total area. It is 7.9 percentage points higher than the 16.3% recorded for Cass County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Fairview township has 4.5 times the land area of nearby East Gull Lake city (7.88 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
